Systems and methods for identifying a malfunctioning vehicle button and performing remedial actions

A method comprising:

• obtaining, by a processor, a current button usage associated with a button of a vehicle from a detection unit;
• comparing, by the processor, the current button usage with an expected button usage behavior associated with the button;
• determining, by the processor, that a difference between the current button usage and the expected button usage behavior exceeds a predefined threshold;
• obtaining, by the processor, one or more environmental conditions associated with the button, the one or more environmental conditions related to temperature or humidity;
• determining, by the processor and based on the one or more environmental conditions and the determination that the difference between the current button usage and the expected button usage behavior exceeds the predefined threshold, that the button is malfunctioning;
• and
• performing, by the processor, a remedial action responsive to determining that the button is malfunctioning.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• obtain a current button usage associated with a button of a vehicle from a detection unit;
• compare the current button usage with an expected button usage behavior associated with the button;
• determine that a difference between the current button usage and the expected button usage behavior exceeds a predefined threshold;
• obtain one or more environmental conditions associated with the button, the one or more environmental conditions related to temperature or humidity;
• determine, based on the one or more environmental conditions and the determination that the difference between the current button usage and the expected button usage behavior exceeds the predefined threshold, that the button is malfunctioning;
• and
• perform a remedial action responsive to determining that the button is malfunctioning.
